The Edge of the World (2014)
Paris, at night. This is where Jeni, Wenceslas, Christine, Pascal and the others live. Homeless, they haunt the streets and bridges, and corridors of the metro; on the edge of a world where society no longer offers protection. They face us and they talk.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Claus Drexel's film is an audacious, vivid, true to the core film about the phantoms of our streets, here in Paris : the homeless people. Mainly shot at night - beautifully shot - the film follows a few strong homeless characters, where they live. They are shot in long fixed shots to let them speak about their everyday silently heroic lives, their hopes and their points of view about Life. This film is deeply moving. It changes the way you look at people and at such unfortunate lives held by some people who struggle harder than most of us. Thank you Claus for your work. Your film is a lesson of humanity. It is a must-see as it is very generously made to care about and listen to the homeless. Do not miss it when it runs in a theater nearby.
